Fetal movements

I am 21 weeks pregnant and I can say that I never really experienced the "fluttering" or "kicking" movements of my fetus. I have felt which can be best described as "gas bubble explosions". However, for the past two days I haven't been feeling any movement at all. My last OB appointment was about three weeks ago. Should I be worried?

Its normal to not have felt strong kicks yet. I wouldnt worry at this point. You baby is so small still, you dont feel alot of the movements to start

I'm also around 21 weeks pregnant and I only feel my baby's movements n kicks after meals and when I'm sitting doing nothing basically lol. try laying down on ur side n poking ur stomach around baby shud b able to respond to that if not wait until ur 22 weeks pregnant then start worrying. for first time mums its normal not to feel the kicks until ur into ur 6th month of pregnancy wouldnt harm to give ur Dr a lil heads up and ask for advice!
good luck!
